
Wear a seatbelt and stay alert when driving! Defensive driving is the best way to drive!
Reserve hotel rooms above the 1st floor. Why? Because First floor rooms are easier to break into.
Don’t go to the ATM at night. Same with gas stations. Get enough gas and money during
daylight hours.
Party Smart!
